  • Create a head contract that includes a comprehensive schedule of values and manage contract access permissions
  • Import a schedule of values from CSV or add line items manually by cost code
  • Email completed contracts to key stakeholders and change the contract status when approved
  • Manage the Head Contract Change Order (PCCO) process and approval workflow
